<p><font color="navy" face="Arial" size="2"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial; color: navy;">These are the embossers that we use in the
California community colleges. They do work with Duxbury. They are good
embossers, although if anyone asks me for my personal recommendation, I always
suggest the Juliet Pro.</span></font></p>

<p><font color="navy" face="Arial" size="2"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial; color: navy;">In particular, our campuses use the Index
Basic-D. The major problems have been with the paper feeding. Some of the
campuses have had an issue with that, and you sometimes have to tweak the
cabinet hardware to resolve the issue.</span></font></p>

<p><font color="navy" face="Arial" size="2"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial; color: navy;">Here at the HTCTU, we also have the 4x4
Professional, which creates booklets. The Braille is embossed on 11x17 inch
paper and is folded into an 8.5x11 booklet. Braille users love the portability.
I wouldn't recommend it as the only embosser as it requires far more
paper. For embossing small things that students need to carry to class,
however, it can't be beat!</span></font></p>

<p><font face="Arial" size="2"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;">One of the other higher ed institutions in Arkansas is
asking around about this brailler. Is anyone familiar with it? I figured
if anyone around has heard of it, it would be someone in our great
ATHENites! <br>
<br>
Their specific questions: </span></font></p>
<p><font face="Arial" size="2"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;"><br>
It's very light, fairly small, but very fast for the price compared with
Enabling Technologies models. Could it be plastic--it's SO much
lighter than the ET models? Would it hold up over time? Would it work
with Duxbury or would the software that comes with it (from Sweden I presume)
work? It's quite a bit less expensive than the faster ET models, too.</span></font></p>
